TIG Overlap Welding Affecting Hard-Faced Weld Metal Properties on JIS-S50C Carbon Steel

Abstract:

This paper aimed to study an overlap distance (OL) of hard-faced welding bead in a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding on the JIS-S50C carbon steel surface. Hard-faced weld metal was produced on an outside surface of the cylinder, using TIG welding with a high chromium flux-cored wire electrode. Welding process parameters were a welding current of 150–210 A and a hard-faced layer of 1–3. The experimental results were summarized as follows. An increase in welding current increased the weld width and the penetration but decreased the weld convex. It also increased the hardness and wear resistance of hard-faced weld metal. The increase of a weld overlap distance resulted in a decrease in the dilution effect in weld metals and an increase in the hardness and wear resistance. An increase in the hard-faced weld metal layer also resulted in a decrease in the dilution effect, resulting in an increase in the hardness and wear resistance.
